RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Ten years ago today, 21 September 2014, Moscow. The March of Peace against the war in Ukraine, organised by Boris Nemtsov. Tens of thousands of people on the Boulevard Ring with the slogan “Peace to Ukraine, freedom to Russia!”

One day, I know, those words will become a reality.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: File this into your memory.
Google apparently has VETO power OVER Gov Newsom. He would't sign into law a bill making it simple for people to flip a switch to stop being tracked around the web.

Google went at him hard. He folded. And he let everyone know late on a Friday night.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Here’s the PROPOSED new EU Commission led and dominated by @vonderleyen featuring :

- mostly unknown national politicians, predominantly ‘yes men’ (the likes of Borrell/Breton gone)

- predominantly and unprecedentedly coming from the EPP and the right and far right to mimic the EU Parliament’s composition

- overlapping and blurred portfolios (climate, democracy, Mediterranean, etc), a recipe for internal tensions set to empower the VPs

- and unlikely to survive as such the vote of the EU Parliament with an unprecedented number expected to be rejected

Fasten your seat belt!
